I looked towards where Lucian, my best-friend since childhood, leaned against a locker. My heart beat wildly as he looked towards my way, a smirk growing on his handsome face.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2mQKvp39a
I walked towards the coal-haired boy but stopped in my tracks when some girl threw herself over Lucian. I clenched my fists and tried to bury my jealousy and disgust at the sight. I only became even more pissed off when Lucian wrapped a sly arm around the girl’s waist.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE7Nc5ziho
“Lucian,” I hissed in annoyance, storming over to them. “Come on. Let’s go.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGuj2sZZlR
He only raised an eye-brow at my visible displeasure but gave in and followed me down the hallways of our school.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjHd6Yxqfw
“What’s up with you?” Lucian asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGc7kPxyGj
“Nothing,” I snapped back.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbd9vP53os
Nothing. Haha. I wish it was nothing!I have a fucking crush on you! That’s what's up!
Lucian suddenly took hold of my wrist and spun me around to face him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkjT4FW2B8
“Ethan! What’s wrong?” He asked, this time actually looking worried. “Did I do something wrong?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7FVELuhEC
I softened a little, feeling guilty. It’s not Lucian’s fault I have a stupid, hopless crush on him for a few seven years. “N-nothing. Just a bit cranky today.” I tried to get my wrist out of his tight grip but he wouldn’t budge, instead tightening it even more.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvtG79mI4v
“Lucian, let go of me,” I said lightly. “Nothing’s wrong. You know I get sour.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Lw2pjSdG
“Yeah, but there’s a reason why you’re sour,” he reasoned.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr46iY0OiP
“Well, I can be sour whenever the hell I want to,” I said. “Now let go of my hand shit-head.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EQQkg3ZZG
Lucian looked unconvinced but didn’t push further and dropped my hand.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjN90OQwM
“Okay then,” Lucian said hesitantly. I smiled softly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4V5PPX690
“I’m fine Lucian,” I reassured him. “Now come on! We have to get to class!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwCAKd7l6R
He let himself get dragged by me through the hallways. I suddenly let go of him and said, “Last one to class is straight!” And then I took off like my mom is chasing me with her belt.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinmYCcCvg4
“You cheating son of a bitch!” Lucian screamed, running after me. It was no secret to the school that I was gay and that he was bisexual. Sometimes people stared at us in disgust and confusion, like we were some alien species. I just didn’t understand why, because we were human just like them.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCjjFoLzmg
Lucian and I burst into the classroom, almost breaking the poor door, and we collapsed on our seats breathing heavily.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYpyqgL3V
“I definitely won that,” I said, panting like a dog.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WAvEag70V
“Boy, you wish,” he said. “Cheater.” We both exploded in hysterics and we fell to the floor clutching our stomachs. I didn’t even know what was so funny. All I knew was that everything becomes a hundred times funnier when you’re with your best friend.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZWAfSYRtq
I looked up from where I was crouching on the floor to see Lucian, a thin coat of sweat covering his cedar brown skin, a gorgeous smile on his god-like face. I could feel a blush rising on my cheeks and I looked down, trying to hide it.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ufpd86yn
A hand took hold of my chin and tilted my face upwards, making me look into Lucian’s azure eyes. I stared closely at him and noticed an adorable, tiny, black mole on the side of his eye.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIGqiTeYgc
Since when did he have a mole?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJqfIDpSad
“You have a mole,” I blurted out. “You look cute with it.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2g9ZaWjHs
He smiled softly. “Do I?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe4BSBrsOb
I nodded, “I noticed it just now.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5kSlaP5bg
He hummed in thought, staring into me. “I’ve always wondered what colour your eye actually was,” he mumbled. “They’re always so dark so I couldn’t figure it out. Now I know what the colour is.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1900mMkZA
“Well, what colour is it then?” I asked, a small blush rising into my cheek. I looked away from his gaze, feeling slightly embarrassed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPteix2a4C
He turned my face back towards him, forcing me to look at him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDRbC9D5ui
“Blue,” he answered. He smiled at me, his eyes darkening a little. “A deep, deep blue.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKioVJxOLRI
The door slammed open, breaking our moment.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VGIGid7ru
Was that even a moment?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcvcgWzZe7
Our Maths teacher, Mr. I-forgot-his-name stormed in, looking grumpy as ever and slammed his books down on the table.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGPnuhVOpx
He wrote down something on the board.
Page 158 -Ex 19A - Questions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. . . . . . . 40
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rQflTV8JG
The teacher turned towards us, “Do this and don’t bother me! Also, Lucian, Ethan! Get up from the floor!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1VoX9a0gx
We rolled our eyes and got up, sitting in our seats and opening our books. It was only two minutes and both of us were already waving our white flags. We decided to eat our food without the teacher noticing us.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRIyiHRWHc
“Hey,” I whispered to Lucian, whose mouth is currently filled with Nutella pancakes. “What’s the teacher’s name again?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nXcDdzERs
“Mr. Tandy.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxnq8wHIUI
“Mr. Sandy?” I whispered, mimicking his lips with a raised eyebrow.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCYZZyM5fQ
Lucian slapped his forehead and repeated, “Mr. Tandy.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK9YBIw3zR
“Mr. Dandy?” I tried again.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEMGnlAGmv
He groaned in annoyance and gritted out, “T-A-N-D-Y.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokLNPUPBK5
My mouth formed an O-shape and nodded at him. I coughed loudly to get the teacher’s attention. Lucian looked at me, confused at what I was upto.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSZ9rQI3Yx
“Um, sir, can my friend and I go to the sickroom? We’re not feeling well. I feel like I’m about to throw up.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtneWX8Qwr
A look of understanding settled in Lucian’s eyes. “Yeah, I think we drank that expired milk in the morning.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltpVx4xfbA
The teacher narrowed his eyes on the both of us. I put my acting skills to use and pretended to look uncomfortable, timidly rubbing my abdomen to get the effect right.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhtZOSl2KB
“Fine,” the teacher grumbled. “Get out of here.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE5EPoJUaS
I sneakily grinned at Lucian and winked at him. I took his hand and both of us slowly limped out of the class. I turned to face the teacher and said, “Thank you Mr. D-A-N-D-Y.” Lucian muffled a laugh-shriek and hauled me out of the room.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QgxvfwqUT
As soon as we were out we ran through the hallways until we were outside the school. We hid behind a wall so the gate-guard couldn't see us and we slipped past him and scaled the walls of the school easily. After all, practice makes perfect.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7SlFGwcxm
We got into my car which was parked near the wall we just jumped off, in case of emergencies. Lucian got into the driver’s seat and I got into the passenger seat. We stared at each other in silence. We lasted for about seven seconds before we both burst into laughter.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbC8mzEUG2
“Why the fuck would you call him Mr. D-A-N-D-Y?” he screeched at me. I wanted to say something but I kept on gasping and bursting into laughter. “You fucking dumbass!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l1bdYzR1h
“B-but you said-” I spluttered, trying to get out a proper sentence. “Y-you said t-that was-” I let out a scream as I remembered the teacher’s face. “-you said that was h-his name!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ybFMb5K04
“Oh Holy mother of all things gay!” my idiot exclaimed. “I was spelling it out for you! AND I SAID MR. T-A-N-D-Y!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZMB7UXHnX
“How the heck was I supposed to know that!” I yelled back.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWFoMfxq5V
“I don’t if you’ve heard about it but there’s this thing called a brain–”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J4RZ5RmFH
“Yeah, I know what that is, but mine doesn’t work!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM93d9rNhs
“I doubt you had one in the first place!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDElVV3HPL
We ended up laughing for thirty minutes. My eyes were puffy and filled with tears by the time we stopped our fit.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8vxt2vRHt
“Oh gosh,” I murmured, sinking into the seat, thankful that my lungs are working again. My mind was messed up with all that bullshit from before and I accidentally uttered, “I fucking love you.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjlEXD5cqp
My eyes widened at what I said. I slowly turned in fear to see Lucian, his face similarly filled with shock. I waited for his reaction, dread slowly filling me. I let out a small exhale of relief when he smiled slowly. “I love you too bro.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWOjrsDDLG
Bro. Did I just get bro-zoned? My heart broke into tiny pieces knowing that my love for him and his love for me are two very different things. I shakily smiled and leaned my head against the window as he drove through the streets endlessly, with no direction in mind.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3zoa0qc4x
Yes, I loved him like a best-friend, but I knew what I felt for him. He was more than just a best-friend for me. No, it wasn’t some silly crush, I realised. I’m in love with him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcPaVEJ1T5
I didn’t know why. I didn’t know how. I just knew. I knew I loved him from his coal hair to the tip of his toes. I knew I loved his laugh. I knew I loved his adorable smile. I knew I loved his stupid jokes. I knew I loved his obsession with Nutella and his blabbering and that amazed look on his face when he sees fish or something he likes.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSWPkECeq6
I. . . . I knew then, that my heart belonged to him. He held it in his hand but he didn’t even know it.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQfkHXk4Q
I wanted to tell him, I really did, but I was a coward. I didn’t want to lose what we had. I treasured what we were. So I silently gave him permission to break my heart as he pleases, even if he didn’t know it.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3JGEnRfI8
I turned to see Lucian’s face, now a calm and content look, as he drove through the familiar streets we always drove through when we ditched classes together. Even if I wasn’t in love with him romantically, I still would gladly walk through hell for that man. He would and will always be my best-friend. Nothing and no one would ever change that.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa5FjOWH9G
“Hey, Ethan?” Lucian called, glancing at me before looking back at the road.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJXVDextP8
“Y-yeah?” I mumbled, breaking out of my thoughts.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IpJkhpqPo
“What are you thinking in that pretty little head of yours?” he asked, his lips tilting upwards in a small smile.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJnxN9OMwI
“Don’t even ask,” I replied, grinning at him. “You’d lose your remaining two brain cells trying to comprehend my wise, philosophical thoughts in that peanut-sized brain of yours.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVKjkARsrt
“At Least I have a brain,” he muttered.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kqoBDO4o2
“Pardon?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQP6TLEGsL
“You heard nothing,” And then he smoothly changed the subject saying, “Also, Kasha’s having a party tonight. You comin’?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhxdxh0qep
“You ask that as if you’re giving me a choice. If I refuse, you’d still drag me to that god-forsaken party anyway.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNVzEawZP3
Lucian cackled and said, “You know me so well darling.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FfK7c6BHv
I made a face at the darling even though I was blushing a little.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7ZMlMXuS1
“Zisgasting!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo89SyOXHt
“But you’re blushing,” he pointed out.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0zp4v7J7C
“No, you’re just hallucinating like usual.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWfeRPCCL8
We laughed and bickered all the way home. But my heart was heavy as the back of my mind kept reminding me that Lucian is never going to love me back the way I do.
* * *
I sighed, standing next to Lucian, dressed in black pants and a dark-red button down shirt.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUKAQEO5Iw
“This place is colossal,” I said, entering the mansion and looking around the dancing people and loud music.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHVRGpp9Wv
“I know right? Come on, let’s go get a drink.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZkhy3Pr7z
“You know my tolerance is shit Luce.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT3P39McKa
“Yeah, pretty much non-existent when you think about it.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvEf1PxeVX
I rolled my eyes at him. He entwined my hand with him and dragged me to the bar. He never let go of my hand as he ordered mildly-strong cocktails. He sat down on the stool and pulled me into his lap, wrapping his arm around my waist.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRf1ePFNgK
“What the-” I stuttered. “What are you doing?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzlRLB9lxW
“Sitting,” he replied. “Why are you so embarrassed? We do this all the time.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy8HXy7F2W
He was right, we did but it’s kind of different now. My stomach felt as if butterflies were stuck in them or something and my cheeks felt like they were burning. It felt weird. But it was a weird nice. But I felt scared too. When our drinks came I didn’t hesitate to down it in one go. Not a good idea as I almost choked. I let out a raspy sound as I placed my cup back on the table, the bartender re-filling it immediately.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0u2OUw0QX
“Drink it slowly,” Lucian said, his breath fanning my ear. I shivered at the feeling. I took my drink and drank it slowly this time. Some of the tension I didn’t even notice I had, eased from my shoulders.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2xuf1juHN
“There we go,” Lucian crooned at me. “Loosen up Ethan, it’s a party.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVJo3FDUIP
“Okay,” I nodded, feeling breathless. And the both of us drank. Three cups turning into five. Five turns into I-can’t-even-remember and then we were on the dance floor. My arms around Lucian’s neck and his hands on my hips. We swayed to the music. One thing about Kasha was that she’s lesbian and homophobic people were out of her list so her parties were always nice and safe.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd5GtVf9De
I tilted my neck to look up at Lucian, feeling drunk. Everything was so woozy and wobbly and nothing made sense. “You fucking jerk,” I told him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TnKpxqtsb
He chuckled, looking only slightly tipsy. “What did I do now?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR5vu27TDw
I glared up at him, his hands tightening on my hips as my legs started to feel shaky. “What did you do?” I asked incredulously. “You made me fall in love with you! And not how bros do! I fucking love you! I fucking love you so much, it’s so hard not to kiss you! And you don’t love me back! You don’t even know how I feel!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q9mEApjUm
I was down-right sobbing now. I couldn’t give a single fuck. He doesn’t love me back and that was all that mattered. I cried softly, letting my hands fall from his shoulders.
“You- You. . . l-love me?” I heard him ask in a shaky voice.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4m5qpiR47
I choked on a laugh. . . or was it a sob? I leaned my head on his shoulder, letting my tears fall on his shirt. I felt tired. Very, very tired. And sleepy. And fucking heart-broken.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJPXMjWCHY
“Yeah,” I whispered. “I love you so much.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdp72eCFmh
My heart ripped when Lucian didn’t answer. He only swung his arm under my legs and placed his other arm behind my back, carrying me in his arms. I felt him say something to someone and we were out into the night, the cold wind touching my teary face. My eyes started drooping and I silently cried myself to sleep in his arms.
* * *
I woke up the next day, feeling like someone slammed my head on a desk and repeatedly kept on whopping my head with a metal spatula, drowning me and then throwing me into a bed. I looked around to see I was in Lucian’s bed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvvc2xaO6N
“Holy Goddess of lesbians,” I groaned. I was still in my outfit from yesterday but my socks and shoes were removed. The first three buttons of my shirt were unbuttoned but other than that, nothing else.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt1QHYFmFP
The smell of pancakes wafted through the air and into my nose. I looked around and saw the beautiful, lovely, fascinating, pain-killers. I quickly swallowed them with some water and got out of the bed, holding the wall for balance. I walked into the bathroom and showered quickly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XhD14MRis
I felt like I wasn’t remembering something. I remembered drinking, a lot, and then Lucian dragging me to the dance floor and. . . then. . . ugh! I can’t remember!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJy6yuOPj0
Damn, that alcohol really got to me.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU7bakRGb0
I changed into some comfy clothes and I walked downstairs, still feeling as if something wasn’t right.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zA5yZJiGp
I saw Lucian plating the pancakes and pouring gallons of Nutella on them.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYPo8yNMSD
“Hey Luce!” I greeted him, with a smile.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY4CbEaNUj
He returned my smile, a bit tight-lipped. “Hey, good morning.” An unsure, questioning look was in his eyes.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiIfw5gU18
“What’s wrong?” I asked in confusion. I walked towards the fridge to get some orange juice.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJ0vuhmxu
“You really don’t remember?” he asked, sounding frustrated and disappointed. But why was he like this? I poured juice into the glass and lifted it up.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x3dkFD5VY
“Remember wha–”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMpSTImsEl
A flurry of memories hit me in the head and I slammed my glass on the table, some of the juice spilling onto the marble top. My whole body started trembling and I leaned onto the countertop for support. My breathing started to elevate a little, I could feel my eyes darting back and forth.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mgtuQtykf
“L-Lucian, I- I-” I sputtered, not knowing what to say. Should I lie?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOioXiZcv0
Yes, I should.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dYOqLbxgD
“I was drunk!” I yelled, interrupting whatever he was going to say, “I- I- didn’t mean what I said! I was- I was not in a clear mind! It was just- It was the alcohol. I- I’m not- I’m not in love with you?” I mumbled the last part, sounding unconvinced myself.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuIB8xXiAZ
I had to get out of here real quick until I could formulate a convincing lie and a proper plan. I wordlessly speed-walked to the door and just as my hand was on the door knob I was spinned around by my shoulders and pinned to the wooden surface. I didn’t look up, avoiding Lucian’s eyes.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iMTRrt6Zu
“You were drunk,” he said, gripping my jaw hard and making me look at him. “But you weren’t that drunk. You knew damn well what you were saying and it wasn’t your tongue or the alcohol doing shit. Don’t lie to me, Ethan.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP40S3hE4o
“I’m not lying,” I choked out.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVHQpsRiId
“But your fingers always twitch when you’re lying,” he pointed out smugly. I glanced down to see my fingers were indeed shaking, violently. “Don’t you dare lie to me Ethan, I’ve been your best-friend for ten years. I know you.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdmSQThPkg
I clenched my fists and let out a shaky breath, deciding to give up. I might as well do it here and now so that I could end this shit-show of me hopelessly loving him and him not even knowing it.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQarDV8Bzpl
“Fine,” I breathed. “Fine. I do love you. Have been for seven whole years. I meant what I said.” I looked up at him, staring into those pretty eyes. “I meant each and every single word. I fucking love you Lucian.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLywBamN9ch
Those eyes looked startled and. . . . happy? I don’t even know anymore.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ibjl8Xgjs
“Look, I understand if you’re weirded out or something,” I began, “but please Lucian, don’t leave me. I only have you, I don’t want to lose you. I love you, romantically, yes, but I also love you because you’re my best-friend and I–”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStrCtWnBuq
I was cut off by Lucian kissing me on the lips. I let out a surprised yelp and tried to push him away but he only grabbed my hands and pinned them beside my head.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Lk0lTZu4
What is happening? Did I get so wasted yesterday that I died and now I’m in heaven? Oh Lord, heaven feels so nice—
I FUCKING CAN’T BELIVE HE’S KISSING ME! HE’S KISSING ME! MY BEST-FRIEND IS KISSING ME–
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0uBspynkG
My internal crisis was interrupted by Lucian licking my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I gave in to him and opened my mouth, feeling his tongue entwine with mine. I responded back to the kiss with equal passion, ripping my wrists off his hold and gripping the soft hair at the back of his head. One of my hands went to his shoulders and pushed him closer to me, my back pressed against the door.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPmMbUvInW
We broke the kiss to get enough air and breathed hard, our exhales coming out in harsh pants.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc57phinA7x
I leaned my head against the door, clenching my eyes shut, “Fuck, shit, give me a minute. I can’t think straight.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDWqL3az5d
Lucian let out a small laugh, “Yeah, no shit sherlock. You’re gay as a fucking pancake. You’re bendy and you taste nice.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm9FWorTkU
We both burst into hysterical laughter, collapsing to the floor, still holding each other. We laugh a lot.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpapHecnqP
“Does this mean you like me back?” I asked with hope.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK4s4lZ4Ct
“Boy, I don’t like you,” he replied. My heart stopped beating. “I fucking love you!” Holy fuck, I died for a second there.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvR6qdMwbh
A bright grin was etched on his face and I grinned with him, unable to stop myself.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjwbxv4x6m
He loves me back.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMGyDCjNW4
I grabbed his neck and kissed him again, this time slow and sweet. I felt like I was still drunk when he kissed me back. This man’s gonna kill me.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgwztEsvol
“I love you best boy friend,” I said.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kGG9fURfY
“What?” he asked in amusement.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXn4V4OMeE
“Boyfriend and best-friend and bam! Best boy friend!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hqGtIoeWE
He laughed and looked at me with so much love in his eyes and he replied, “I love you too, best boy friend.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx60MRO3EJ
I felt so fucking HAPPY! It’s like I was gonna burst out of joy and I love it. I really, really love it. Just as much as I love Lucian.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lXkniADo8
“Um, Ethan?” Lucian asked.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2aVeT5NB
“Yeah?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlQlUdmtft
“Like, uh, no homo though, right?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgYidZrcw1
I stared at him, gawking, but he started laughing like a choking pterodactyl and I joined him a few moments later. Even if we love each other romantically, one thing will stay the same. Lucian is my annoying best-friend and I fucking love him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU46wz711Fz
Hm, guess that’s two things.
